Evan's knowledge was so helpful. He took time to point out so many sightings including tricolor herons, great blue herons, little blue herons, Ibis, pelicans, racoons, lots of osprey, dolphins, mangroves, oyster beds, fiddler crabs, and much more... low tide was great time to go!

We had a wonderful time as a family of 4 kayaking in the bay and learning about the local nature. The guides were so patient and knowledgable about everything. Highly recommend and looking forward to do another excursion with Rising Tide in the future.
